Nigerian Navy’s newest offshore patrol vessel NNS Unity which was built by the China Shipbuilding and Offshore International Limited (CSOIL) arrived to Lagos, Nigeria, on November 4.

The ship departed China on September 15 and made port calls in five countries in Asia and Africa while en route to Nigeria.

The two offshore patrol vessels Nigeria ordered from China in 2012 are variants of the Chinese Type 056 corvette. Known as P18N, the Nigerian variant measures 95 meters in length, displaces 1800 tons and can stay at sea for 20 days.

NNS Centenary, the first ship in the class arrived to Lagos in February 2015.

Hmmm, just want to take revenge, by revenge I would rather have the whole jap race wiped out, so I dont really hate any jap politicans,.

Read again First and Second Opium Wars and the treaties forced upon China by the combined West.

The real existential enemy of China (material and ideational) is to be found right there.

Japan has bad, terrible, and disgraceful historical conduct against China, yet, that's no more and will never be -- so long as the greatest threat is eliminated. The threat that once forced China into concessions, cut out parts of China, built foreign religious monuments on it (I have seen that disgraceful German colonial-built mega church near Shandong University campus in Jinan in my visit there), attacked the very culture (missionaries) and social life (opium trade) of the people.

You want to keep Japan in check politically and strategically, and make them forever a social-cultural extension of the Middle Kingdom as was in the history, keep your eyes on the existential threat that determines Japan's course of action.

New customer：Uruguay Airforce & China L-15

最近曝光显示，今年8月，乌拉圭空军便已派出人员评估中国制L-15猎鹰高级教练机。是否已经下订单，数量多少都尚不可知。不过可以预见的是，L-15的外销之路已经越走越好了。

Let's hope so! But given the lack of appearance of L-15 at Zhuhai airshow 2016. I will says it 90% done deal as the sales of L-15 is so good that they dont even bother to advertise this plane at Zhuhai 2016 to attract new customers. I can bet Hongdu hands are full now. This is a stark contrast compare to JF-17.

Words cannot describe how amazing this aerial platform is and how much of an impact it has already made so far. First Zambia now possible Uruguay. As far as I know this is the only trainer aside from the T-50 Golden Eagle that has afterburners on it. So not only is it a trainer but may serve as a tactical air defense platform. Truly amazing. Also half the cost of the Golden Eagle.

According to Wiki
L-15 cost 14.5 Million
T-50 cost 21-25 million

Here is a video from a few months back demonstrating its maneuverability:

Most likely enlarged version of Type056 corvette.

Just 700 tons patrol craft base on Durjoy Class enhancement plus extend 4 meter at rear.,
weapon just fit with navy gun, RHIB but no missile

But is this deal already concluded ??? I thought it was so far only an interest...

I will say it's 99%. If not,L-15 will appear at zhuhai 2016 to convince the Uruguay Air Force delegates. Chinese will not disclose the deal. It will only be confirmed when you see L-15 flying in Uruguay Air Force ensign.

Just like many deals with Iraq, Myanmar and Turkmenistan.

I have to fully agree with you. China see the market more for an all in one multi role high end trainer rather than JF-17 pure point blank air superior platform which PAF vision to compete with F-16.

Twin seat , twin engine that can act as a trainer , CAS or if necessary a fighter that can give some 4th gen fighter a run for their money. A very good plane for countries with limited money for their airforce. Plus with generous soft loan that will sure make it sell.

Not sure about taking a 4th gen fighter head on but certinaly CAS and tactical air defense for things like escorting suspicious aircraft, recon, and obviously training pilots to handle 4 gen aircraft.

This could potentially save air forces millions of dollar. By allowing aircraft like the L-15 to do the roles listed above teh actual fighters could focus on fighting air to air combat against hostile 3-4 gen fighters and less cost on fuel and maintenance. Im sure Su-27-35, F-15, F-16, Eurofighter operators can tell me how expensive it is to operate those beasts. So by having smaller yet potent aircraft like this could potentially have a massive impact on many different scale.

Anyone has any news reference on Kuwait's order of AH4 howitzer? I saw such a mentioning on a Chinese forum.

Actually, if you really look at what the L-15V is, it can very well take on a 4th gen fighter. Its 82kN of thrust is comparable to the JF-17's, but the L-15's empty weight is only 4,500kg vs. the JF-17's 6,500kg. With that said, the afterburning L-15V will probably be longer and heavier than the basic version so the difference is probably much closer, but it should still be significantly lighter and thus offer superb maneuverability. The very small nose does make it critically weak in the radar department, allowing it to equip only a 70km range PESA radar which is considerably weaker than even the PD KLJ-7 let alone the KLJ-7A AESA on the JF-17. Besides that, the L-15 features other 4th gen requirements including quadruple FBW and a glass cockpit.

With successive upgrades the JF-17 is moving into the upper echelons of 4th gen fighters, I think the L-15V can fit nicely into the lower echelon role that the JF-17 is leaving behind.

One persons perspective vs another. If you believe that the L-15 can do the job then more power to you. The reason I did not agree is mainly because lack of knowledge about the aircraft. According to Wiki it says it carries a PESA radar. But to my knowledge there is no

• radar range identified,
  
• how many targets in can track, scan, and engage
• max range of missiles that go with radar
• Min and max g's
  
• turning rate

So I just don't see it happening unless this kind of info has been clarified. Further more it was designed to train pilots to handle 4th and 5th gen aircraft. One role I can defiantly see it taking on is an aggressor role like the F-5s do for TOP GUN and Red Flag training. I think it would be very well suited for it.
